Abstract
Aluminum titanate (AT)-based Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) with hexagonal cell geometry has previously been presented as a promising media showing extremely lower pressure drop, coming from its specific hexagonal channels of DPF. In addition these AT characteristics, the investigation on an engine bench verified that AT filter with the hexagonal cell structure exhibited different combustion behavior from the one with the standard cell structure. To understand this behavior, direct observation inside the filter on its microscopic scale was carried out. It was found that the hexagonal channels induced multiple steps on particulate matter accumulation.
